Thanks. This helps. I hope to have some time to look at this story in detail, perhaps through this weekend.

Good idea. I was reading through the first page of posts. Much more to go. I'll work on it as I have time.

I'd say yes for Ravion.

I'd say that it would be unhelpful to split the epilogue. I kind of like the clean way Tolkien handled the end of LotR.

When writing the end for Amroth and Nimrodel,...

Liornung and Bellyn? I haven't a clue. I suppose Liornung would go on his merry way, with his immensely fulfilling life as a troubadour. I suppose Bellyn might just join him? She seemed to be...

If you can pardon me dipping into my knowledge of PTSD and related subjects, what you describe looks like something from which one could recover, because Mellondu never lost control of his own will. ...

So is it that Mellondu essentially got taken over, body and soul? If so, then any Mellondu that is still there is severely damaged, not unlike Frodo because of the Ring. That's my thinking.

Or,...

"Bump" acknowledged.

I will need time to reorient back to this story. We shall see this done this time.

Mellondu needs a journey with a goal that resolves his brokenness. It could come much...

In post # 235, is the "she" referred to, Mithrellas? It's a little hard to tell.

If I understand correctly, we need to bring everyone back to Marigold now, right? I'll figure that's right. ...

Okay. :)

First thing is to "know your enemy". Recognize the typical shape and form of the borrowings.

Greek: many words ending in "os" or "as", or words that once did: logic, philosophy, any...

Read Anglo-Saxon out loud, then speak it in modern English, then read it again out loud. In other words, really get to know what you're saying. There's Beowulf, Ancrene Wisse, Pearl, Finnesburg,...

I'm game. I think I'll get into some debriefing - LOTR fashion - between the characters before they get to Mellondu - of course they'll be wondering where he is until then. Could be fun. :)

Yay! :) (at the waking up)

Yes yes and yes.

Now for specifics:

I'd like to have some fun with Jorje. :)

Not sure about Tharonwe. He is like Saruman after having lost his power, and there...

Actually, Marigold sent Jorje into the mountains to find the questers.

Thanks for the "like". :)

What do you want to do now? How can I help?

If you don't mind this taking time, I'm okay with it.

Jorje will stay with his pack until it disperses. Question is, whom does he consider to be the Alpha of his pack?

I think they all need to go back to Marigold. Who wouldn't? Mellonin? She lives in Minas Tirith.

Erebemlin - Marigold, definitely
Taitheneb - she's on the way
The Rohirrim - she's hardly out...

Okay, the last few posts seem to be set in the vale near the Gilraen. Is that right?

Exquisite lines & moments

Some amazing stuff has been written here. Sometimes, it seems, the story takes us over and brings us beyond ourselves, beyond our abilities. I think this is called the Spirit.
